Hutto is embracing its country roots with the lineup for KOKEFEST 2019.

The festival, hosted by Austin’s KOKE-FM radio station, runs Aug. 16-17 and features event headliner Cody Johnson alongside co-headliners Parker McCollum and Koe Wetzel, according to an Aug. 15 news release. Johnson will perform Aug. 16, and McCollum and Wetzel will play Aug. 17.

“We are all very excited about the festival this year”, stated KOKE-FM Program Director Eric Raines, in the release. “The staff has worked hard to put together an incredible line up for 2019. Cody Johnson has been on our wish list since the first KOKEFEST in 2017; and coupled with the local talent, and national chart-topper Joe Diffie, this is sure to be the best year to date.”

The weekend event will include area food trucks, a dance floor, festival merchandise and photo opportunities alongside its music performances, per the release.

An H-E-B and Brown Distributing raffle will dedicate all proceeds to Honor Flight Austin, a central Texas veterans nonprofit. Sales from onsite parking will be donated to the nonprofit, as well.

General admission for both days’ performances are available at www.kokefest.com and for in-person purchases.

Current and former military personnel will receive a 20% discount with a valid military I.D., per the release.
